Selenium starts but does not load a page

Question

I am running python 2.7.12 with selenium version 2.53.6 and firefox 49.0. I have looked here for Selenium WebDriver: Firefox starts, but does not open the URL but the solutions mentioned have not solved my problem.

Are there compatibility issues of which I am unaware? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

may try by downgrading firefox.. – murali selenium Sep 27 '16 at 04:39 — murali selenium, Sep 27 '16 at 04:39

For higher version of Firefox either use Selenium 3.0.x or use geckodriver.

As you are using selenium version 2.53.6 .So it is not compatible with firefox version 49.0.

You should downgrade your firefox version to <=46

Download older version of firefox from the below address:
